Gimme fuel,
Gimme fire,
Gimme that which I desire,
Ooh!

Turn on...I see red
Adrenaline crash and crash my head
Nitro junkie, paint me dead
And I see red

One hundred plus through black and white
War horse, warhead
Fuck 'em man, white knuckles tight
Through black and white

Ohhh, on I burn,
Fuel is pumping engines,
Burning hard, loose and clean

And I burn,
Churning my direction,
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel,
Gimme fire,
Gimme that which I desire,

Hey

Turn on beyond the bone
Swallow future, spit out home
Burn your face upon the chrome
Yeah!

Take the corner, join the crash,
Headlights, headlines
Another junkie lives too fast
Yeah lives way too fast, fast, fast, oohh-aye

Ohhh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean

And on I burn
Churning my direction,
Quench my thirst with gasoline

So gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire

Yeah-heah

White knuckle tight!
(solo)

Gimme fuel...on I burn, on and on
Gimme fire...on I burn, on and on
My desire...

Ohhh, on I burn
Fuel is pumping engines
Burning hard, loose and clean

And I burn
Churning my direction
Quench my thirst with gasoline

Gimme fuel
Gimme fire
Gimme that which I desire
Ooh

On I burn!

    General Comment:This is very mediocre song at best... What happened to Metallica?... They got old.

    James is a race car nut, loves his suped up hot rods. So I guess this is in relation to going fast, burning rubber and the possible outcomes of such habits.

    Once again, very mediocre, passe even... by Tallica' standards that is.

    My Opinion:I've read through some of these pages and I have to wonder why nobody mentioned "adrenaline junkies" yet..
    The way I get it, this song is about people that seek every thrill they can get, adrenaline being the fuel that gets their blood running, even if they might crash and burn.
